The Cutler-Orosi Joint Unified School District is dedicated to fostering the holistic development of every child within our community. Our district operates on the foundation of a universal Multi-Tiered Multi-Domain System of Supports (MTMDSS), designed to ensure that each student and family receives the comprehensive assistance they need.
Embedded within our approach are the district's domains of excellence, which encompass social-emotional and behavioral well-being (including attendance and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports), academic achievement, and college and career readiness. This holistic framework serves as a data-based and data-driven system, empowering students, staff, and the community to nurture mentally resilient, academically proficient, and prepared individuals.
Central to our philosophy is the provision of universal supports and services accessible to every student, staff member, and parent. Additionally, a more focused lens is applied to the 10-25% of students requiring targeted interventions, while individualized education plans are crafted for the 3-5% with unique needs.
We take pride in our commitment to informed decision-making, which is deeply rooted in data and amplifies the voices of our students. Our collaborative team approach involves classified and certificated staff trained in trauma-informed practices, suicide prevention and awareness, and ongoing professional development opportunities. Administrators play an integral role in leading data discussions within our schools and across the district, facilitating a culture of continuous improvement. Furthermore, each school site is equipped with dedicated mental health professionals, including social workers, counselors, parent-student advocates, and school psychologists, to provide accessible support and guidance.
At Cutler-Orosi Joint Unified School District, we are steadfast in our mission to cultivate an environment where every child can thrive academically, emotionally, and socially. Through our comprehensive approach and unwavering commitment to the well-being of our students, we aim to empower future generations to reach their full potential.
